Thanks to all of the amazing people who backed the 2012 Cut Paper Art Calendar Campaign on Kickstarter.com! Because of your kind and generous support, the campaign was a success. Thus, with no further ado: Pre-Orders for the 2012 Cut Paper Art Calendar are now being taken.

update -- The 2012 Cut Paper Art Calendar is now available for purchase. Please check the Calendar Shop for a preview and to order. 2012年切絵カレンダーご購入頂けます！カレンダーのショップからご閲覧・ご購入頂けます。

Of course, for those who backed the campaign; your copy is already being held for you. If this is the first you've heard of the calendar tho, there are still a bunch unreserved. Want one? I don't blame you. Here's how you reserve a copy or two:

Send me an email with your name, email address, and the number of copies you want reserved.

Wait a bit.

I'll email you with payment details when the calendar has been printed.

That's it. Easy, huh? It looks like the calendar will go for around $30 USD, worldwide shipping included. I was hoping to offer it for less, but the exchange rate isn't playing nice.

As for the calendar itself, the first draft was sent to the printer two days ago. The first (and, God willing, the last) color proof should arrive tomorrow. I'll make any corrections necessary to the color, and fix any dumb mistakes I may have made (I haven't found them yet, but they are surely in there). Then a week or so later, I should have the calendars in my hands. There may be a second color proof in there too. Time will tell.

Until then, enjoy the front and back covers (above), and the March spread below. Those are the right dates, yes?

Strong With This One #wip.
Apparently, wood paper is a thing. I mean, of course paper made of wood isn’t new, but wood sliced so thin as to be paper seems to be. At least to me. It’s very handy for building faces, along with a pretty bronze-ish chiyogami for a shiny shadow

So many pieces, so many cuts. #wip for a new piece in the Paper Heroes show that just opened in Israel. It's nice to get a chance to work with bright colors again. It's been awhile

"Paper Heroes" goes live tomorrow, October 5,2017 at the old Jaffa Museum in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Paper cutting, origami, curling, paper sculpture and many more techniques have been employed by an international group of 36 artists, scattered across 3 continents, to depict or comment on their heroes or the idea of heroism.
I've got a couple pieces in the exhibition that run to the colorful, vibrant side of my art. There's even brand new work that speaks to my ideas of heroism on a couple of different levels, from the very tiny and personal to the massively galactic, from a long time ago to the immediate now.
